Charlotte announces she’s set for the jungle, and fans are FUMING

Oct 31, 2016

So, yesterday former Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, decided to send her fans and followers completely over the edge.

In a move which has gone down like a lead balloon on Twitter, the reality star revealed that she's planning to follow in Vicky Pattison's footsteps and head down under for a fortnight of bushtucker trials.

Confirming speculation last night, 26-year-old Charlotte wrote: "Yep I am going on @imacelebrity. I can't wait. So excited man."

Yep I am going on @imacelebrity I can't wait so excited man

— Charlotte Crosby (@Charlottegshore) October 30, 2016

Pumped at the prospect of seeing Charlotte tackle the same trials and tribulations her former co-star Vicky endured in the jungle, fans of the star wasted no time wishing her luck.

But it looks like their well wishes were unnecessary as an hour later Charlotte was forced to admit she had been joking – an admission that didn't sit well with the public.

That was a joke btw.

"Such a funny joke isn't it? You excited your fans you moron," wrote one.

"F*ck sake, already told the girlfriend and she was buzzing and said you will win. Now I got to go break the news now thanks," added another.

But while some followers were clearly fuming, the most optimistic among them suggested Charlotte had merely made the announcement too early and had been forced to retract it.

"I was a little unsure if she was meant to be announcing it this early?" wrote while another remarked: "Are you sure you're not just saying that cos you got in sh*t for tweeting it?"

Hmmm, we might have to watch this space…

Eh, no thanks! So, THIS has been added to the I’m A Celebrity menu

If you thought the delicacies served up to desperate stars in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here has been pretty bad so far, it looks like we've seen nothing yet.

From witchetty grubs to fish eyes, almost 200 celebrities since the show's debut in 2002 have choked down countless creepy-crawlies (among other things) in order to keep their stressed-out fellow campers in rations.

And while the vast majority of us gagged delicately into our pyjama sleeves during these particular bushtucker trials, recent reports suggest we're going to need our own personal sick buckets for the upcoming series.

Speaking to the Daily Star, a source close to the long-running programme revealed that production teams intend to introduce crocodile vagina to the menu.

That's right ladies, celebrities will be feasting on a female crocodile's secret secretness.

"In the past, celebrities have had mealworms, witchetty grubs, fermented egg and fish eyes to eat," they acknowledged.

"They’re a picnic compared to this delicacy," they added. "A croc’s vagina is something else. Ant and Dec will giggle about it but they don’t have to eat it."

Seriously, who needs pay cheque THAT badly?

Sep 22, 2016

by Amber Saunders

With Laura Whitmore quitting the show and the impending ban on reality TV competitors, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here seems to be undergoing a major makeover.

And since she’s already claimed the Queen of the Jungle title, Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison is heading back to Oz in search of her next gig.

Fresh from her stint on the Loose Women panel, the reality TV star will be joining comedian Chris Ramsey, EastEnders’ Joe Swash and X Factor’s Stacey Solomon to present the new I’m A Celeb… spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp.

According to The Sun, the new show will replace Laura Whitmore’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here Now!.

A source told the paper that as last year’s winner Vicky was mad to return to the show, but “while she was always the front-runner [for Laura’s job], ITV took their time with the decision”.

I’m A Celeb… will return to screens this November.

SERIOUSLY? I’m a Celebrity… to BAN reality stars from taking part

Sep 12, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Reality TV stars are entertaining, controversial and love being in front of the camera so you’d think they’d be ideal contestants for I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.

But – according to new reports – ITV looks set to ban those of reality TV fame from entering its famous jungle because they have an “unfair advantage” over the show’s other participants.

According to The Telegraph, I’m a Celeb… bosses want to ditch reality stars from November’s line-up in favour of more “credible” names.

A number of the show’s former contestants are said to have complained that reality TV personalities have an “unfair advantage” in the jungle because they are used to being filmed close up and have large social media followings.

A Sun source said: “The last series got a ribbing for having so many reality show stars and giving them lots of camera time.”

“Despite them providing most entertainment, bosses are keen to lure more credible campmates.”

Given that TV personalities from Geordie Shore, The Only Way Is Essex and Made in Chelsea have proven very popular in recent years, it will be interesting to see how the decision to exclude them will play out.

Spencer Matthews is RETURNING to I’m A Celeb after steroid scandal

Jul 1, 2016

by Amber Saunders

He was booted off the show last year, but now it seems that Spencer Matthews is going to return to I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The former Made In Chelsea star was axed at the start of the series last year when he confessed to taking steroids before entering the jungle.

However, The Mirror reports that he has since cleaned up his act and is free from any muscle-enhancing drugs.

The I'm A Celeb bosses are also going to make his appearance on the show worthwhile as they're offering him a £50,000 contract to go back out to the Australian wilderness.

A source told the publication: "Spencer was cut up at being chucked out of the jungle and has worked hard all year to change his ways.

"He's steered clear of big-money trashy telly like Celebrity Big Brother, and has kept in touch with the team at I'm A Celeb and wants to make it up to his family and fans."

Charlotte Crosby has her sights set on one VERY famous reality show

Jun 14, 2016

by Amber Saunders

It’s no secret that Charlotte Crosby has had a difficult time over last month with the revelation of her ectopic pregnancy and shock exit from Geordie Shore, so we’re delighted to hear the star is back making plans for the future.

In an interview with OK! Charlotte revealed that she’d love to follow in Vicky Pattison’s footsteps and enter the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

But while admitting that being part of the show would be “absolutely amazing”, she’s not sure she’d be able to cope with the show’s famous challenges as well as her former co-star did.

She said: “I don't think I'd do as well in the tasks as what Vicky did man…it was like nothing phased her.”

“Like I couldn't be travelling over them snakes as if it's just a b****y stick – I’d be full on screaming.”

And speaking of challenges, Charlotte – who recently arrived in Sydney- told OK! that she has a new screening process in mind for any potential love interests.

“I think I'll have a series of tests for any future boyfriends, I think after this phone call I'm gonna write them all down like tricky little tests I can give each one to see if they'll pass them.”

“Say if I'm away and I'm meant to be going to see them and I'm like I can't do it, I've got to be in London, see if they're like, 'Oh I'll come to London’, stupid little things like that.”

Given her complicated on-screen relationship with Gary Beadle, we think Charlotte's new plan sounds like a very good idea.

Today, George Shelley shared a video admitting that he's dated both men and women, and asked his fans to support him and not label him.

However, when George was on I'm A Celeb, he grew particularly close to Ferne McCann, with many speculating that they were an item.

As their time in the jungle ended, it became known that they are just really good friends and nothing more.

So, when George shared his emotional post, Ferne was the first to offer her support on social media.

Less than an hour later, the reality star posted a photo of the pair with the sweetest caption.

"Feeling very proud of my lil jungle fwend today 'happiness is letting go of what you think life is suppose to look like & celebrating it for everything that it is' I love you bubs," she wrote.

The jungle queen, Vicky Pattison also shared her love for George on Twitter.

"I have never been prouder of my amazing friend @higeorgeshelley no matter who you love my darlin, we will always love you-You brave human," she said.

We're so glad George has the support from friends and loved ones.

Vicky reveals what she REALLY thinks about Stephanie on CBB

Jan 27, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Vicky Pattison is no stranger to reality TV, and she's had many wild antics herself on Geordie Shore, but now the reigning Queen of the jungle is weighing in on Stephanie Davis' "nightmare" on CBB.

Speaking to the MailOnline, Vicky said that she's been "cringing" watching Stephanie in the house this month, and her appearance on the reality show might not have been the best career move.

As we all know, the 22-year-old went into the CBB house with a boyfriend of a year, Sam Reece, but her flirty behaviour with Jeremy McConnell has landed her in hot water, not only with the other contestants, but with viewers too.

"Stephanie must be getting a really hard time at the minute, and I don't want to be the person that jumps on the bandwagon, I have to be truthful and I have to be honest. She's having a nightmare!" Vicky said.

Ms Pattison pointed out that Stephanie went on the show for the same reasons that Vicky went on I'm A Celeb.

"She obviously went in there to try and turn things around like I did, we got drunk at work and did this, and did that, stuff I can completely sympathise with but she's gone out of the frying pan and into the fire.

"She's done the worst thing! People hate cheats, it's not even just that, she's argued with everyone, called people names. I love someone who's got an opinion but it feels like she's having them all.

"I cringe for her when she comes on the telly, because I just think what injustice are you going to do yourself today? I think she's a very fragile, confused young girl," she adds.

Oh GOD! Gillian McKeith is the new housemate entering CBB tonight

Most of us were expecting Sam Reece to enter into the CBB house, just to… you know… majorly spice things up.

And, even though he denied the rumours, we still kinda thought he was going to surprise us ALL, as well as Stephanie and Jeremy.

But, the housemate that is actually entering into the house was not expected. At all.

Channel 5 confirmed earlier today that health guru Gillian McKeith will enter the Big Brother house tonight.

In a statement the TV network said: "Tonight, LIVE on Celebrity Big Brother, holistic food & lifestyle guru Gillian McKeith, will pay an unexpected visit to the Big Brother house.

"Over the next few days, the celebrities will be put to the test in the ultimate January detox as prescribed by Gillian."

Oh GOD, we can only imagine how this is going to pan out.
